Okay I agree with whats said above, your rear sprocket is backwards and your chain is too loose.
Ideal chain fit is clutch out roll the bike back till the top run of the chain is tight from the engine sprocket to the rear sprocket.
Then you have about 1/2 a inch up/down movement in the lower run of the chain.
Anymore can risk the chain derailing, and it will make an awful noise slapping around.
The idea of the back tyre locking up cos the chain has derailed at 30mph isnt a pretty picture.
